As the previously published papers were about debentures, this one is pioneer in terms of FIDCs. Indeed, understanding the determinants of a FIDCs’ issuance is mandatory for companies which access capital markets to obtain funds. Between 2002 and 2009, the study analyzed 113 public issuances indexed to CDI that had a pre-defined maturity and at least two investors. Those issuances were subject to four Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regressions. The first regression focused on the variables that affected the rating. The second one excluded all rating related variables and had spread as the dependent variable, while all the others were independent variables. The third one tested a potential non-linearity relation between spread and rating, while the fourth regression tested the spread against all other variables, including those ones related to the rating. The results pointed out that rating is indeed a good determinant for the spread, as well as the issuance volume, the financial institution responsible for the FIDCs’ custody and the macroeconomic environment. These three variables also contributes to determine the rating, along with the number of investors and issuers and if the underlying assets were eventually delivered. The study also concluded that there is no evidence of linearity between spread and rating in FIDCs. The major contribution of this study is to present on first hand a thorough analysis on variables that affect a new type of fixed income investment, the FIDCs, such as the asset nature, credit risk diversification levels and quantity of issuers.

Trata-se de um estudo pioneiro no segmento de renda fixa, uma vez que os anteriores focaram o spread para debêntures. Entender componentes do spread em FIDCs é muito importante para as empresas que captam recursos no mercado de capitais por meio deste novo instrumento. A análise contemplou 113 ofertas públicas indexadas ao CDI entre 2002 e 2009 que tinham prazo determinado e pelo menos 02 investidores adquirentes das cotas. Foram elaboradas quatro regressões múltiplas pelo método dos Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários (MQO). A primeira visava identificar quais variáveis afetavam o rating. A segunda tinha como variável dependente o spread e as independentes eram todas, excluindo as que afetavam o rating. A terceira equação testou uma possível relação de não-linearidade entre spread e rating, enquanto a quarta testou o spread contra todas as demais variáveis, incluindo as que afetavam o rating. Os resultados apontaram que o rating é sim um bom determinante para o spread, assim como o volume da emissão, ambiente econômico e instituição financeira que faz a custódia do fundo. Da mesma forma, são fatores que explicam o rating: ambiente econômico, quem são o administrador e o custodiante do fundo, o número de investidores, volume, se o fundo é multi ou mono-cedente e se os ativos são performados ou não. Não há linearidade entre spread e rating em FIDCs. A maior contribuição deste estudo foi apresentar pela primeira vez variáveis que afetam um novo tipo de investimento em renda fixa, os FIDCs, tais como tipo de ativo, níveis de concentração e fundos mono e multi-cedentes. Tudo isto por meio de um cuidadoso tratamento da base de dados.
